Piloting a Segway for the first time

We had a great time sharing the experience with friends. But, the "tour" aspect of the experience was lacking; we've been on several guided tours in Europe, and the San Diego Segway tour was NOT informative in comparison. It was fun, though!

The guide went so quickly he lost a few of us for 2 blocks. Trying to keep up with him I fell trying to maneuver over a curb. Too much street construction to deal with on our route. Have done Segway tours a few times. This was the only bad one

A great way to see San Diego. We live in North County and don't get down there that often. We saw a lot of things and had a great guide. We have already gone back and taken their other tour.

The segways are a blast and I like the way that they connect everyone together with radio's. The whole tour was terrific due to the talents of our segway guide Nick. He was fantastic. Gave us great background on the buildings, streets and people of San Diego and kept us engaged the whole time. Yeah, definitely Nick was the best thing about the trip.

Don't hesitate to take advantage of this deal. Definitely worth every penny. The segways are in excellent condition and they go to great lengths to make sure you are only going to the extent of your abilities. In our case, all 4 of us were experienced riders (i.e. we had previously had a few hours practice - within the past year or so), which meant that perhaps we rode a little faster in places. Regardless, where there were obstacles or dangers of any kind, they made sure we were taken care of and kept safe.

Riding on the beach and over the Dunes. Cool we got to go on our own.

My foot caught in the Segway when I took a spill on the loose sand. Twisted my knee a bit but luckily it was at the end of the ride. Still would do it again. Was really fun.

Tour guide made all the difference. As a San Diego resident, I was proud to show of our fine city along with our out of town guests.

It took us on a tour of the area around the port and Gaslamp district. It was soooo much fun!!!!! Our whole group thought it was the high point of our California Coastal Cruise. We didn't want it to end.

Our guide was outstanding! He gave us a guided tour with an explanation of the sights via earphone as we rode around. We wish the ride were longer time wise. We would love to have this offer more frequently from Travelzoo.

The staff was really courteous and very helpful getting us familiar with the Segways.

Hardly any place to ride. The guide did not give much instruction. I had riden one before but not with sand tires which we both had issues with

The short ride on the pier

Riding on the beach

Went on Sat . At1:00. They said they had a party of four at 2:00 but could not accommodate our party of 3 then or anytime after that even though they didn't close until 6:00! That leaves only a small window of time for you to rent and they don't take reservations so be careful and go early! We went back on Sunday and we were able to use our vouchers on our last day in Pismo Beach.
